Since its official opening, Pengbo Cinema has been at the forefront of cinemas in Shanghai and even the country in terms of theater facility configuration and box office performance.
It can be said that this month, Pengbo Cinema was built on a series of impressive figures. Even today, when cinema expansion is unprecedentedly fierce, no newly opened cinema dares to boast of a one-year return on investment, let alone a profit.
.
For more than a month, from the first day of opening, it has achieved a box office revenue of 200,000 yuan almost every day. This is unique. Accumulated in one year, it can be said to be an astronomical figure.
"I have calculated that if this momentum continues, the box office of Pengbo Cinema will account for 3% of the national box office in the first year!"
During the Chinese New Year this year, Peng Bo did not make any fanfare or take a plane. Instead, Chen Feng drove him directly back to Qinwan. In the car, he was full of enthusiasm and could not help but start planning for 2003. His plan was to expand the movie theater massively.
But this matter can only be postponed to the second half of the year, because in the spring, a SARS epidemic that attracted worldwide attention will disrupt all his plans.
I feel even more timid when I'm close to my hometown.
I haven’t been back to Qinwan for almost a year, but Peach Blossom Stream is still the same as before. It snowed just a few days ago. The wheat fields outside the village are all white, and the haystacks at the entrance of the village look like they were planted in the wilderness.
Big mushroom.
"Let me get off the car here." Peng Bo opened the door and took a long breath of the air of his hometown. He listened to the occasional barking of dogs and the smoke rising from the kitchen stove. The mountain village after the snow was quiet and familiar.
"Dabo is back."
Seeing Peng Bo enter the village, the old people gathered at the entrance of the village chatting came to greet him. He heard the familiar accent, familiar smiling faces, and familiar scenes, "I just got home. I haven't eaten yet."
"Go home quickly, your mother is waiting for you at home."
Peng Bo smiled and shook hands with these old people. He paid for the fitness plaza at the entrance of the village, the cultural compound in the village, and the cement road around the village... Although he is now the leader of Shanghai, but when he returns to the village, he
It is still the Big Bo that the old people talk about. The old people remember that the Big Bo has a runny nose, climbs trees and jumps into wells, kills chickens and chases away dogs.
Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. When walking down the street in the village, every house has hung up red lanterns. According to Qinwan people's custom, red Spring Festival couplets were posted yesterday. Today's lunch is also very rich for every household.
"Dad, Mom..." The Kuaizui boy in the village had already informed his family about his return. When he reached the entrance of the alley, his father Peng Yuanyuan and his mother Jiang Li had already greeted him.
"elder brother--"
Peng Bing jumped over and jumped directly onto Peng Bo, "Come down quickly, it's too heavy. How many pounds have you gained? The food at Tsinghua University is so good..."
They are already senior students, and they are no longer the little girl who didn't pay attention to dressing up in high school. But when she comes home during the holidays, wearing her mother's cotton-padded jacket, she looks like a village girl again.
"Da Bo." Peng Bo was stunned for a moment, then smiled. Behind his parents, he saw an acquaintance who was looking at him with squinted eyes and a broken tooth, "Brother Huang, when did you come?"
"I just came here. I just came to see my uncle and aunt. I didn't expect you to come back today." Huang Bo smiled and scratched his scalp. His temperament is really strange. At this time, he didn't have the calmness of a billionaire actor, let alone an award ceremony.
His tongue was like a lotus flower, and he looked a little reserved.
"It's fate that we met each other. Brother Huang, let's sit at home." Peng Bo was very enthusiastic. Huang Bo swallowed a sip of saliva and looked at the Mercedes-Benz slowly following behind. "I'll sit there for a while and then leave. I know you're busy. I just wanted to
Come back and talk to your uncle and aunt more. By the way, Dabo, you invested in the hero, right? The filming was really good..."
"Okay?" Peng Bo asked.
"Okay, it's so exciting," Huang Bo showed his broken teeth again, "It's just that the show hasn't been shown in Qinwan yet, why don't I book one too..."
The Spring Festival movie is just for everyone to have fun. Peng Bo knows whether it is interesting or not. Anyway, when I watched it in my previous life, I just looked at the scenes and basically had no impression of the plot. Therefore, the Oscars did not look at such a movie at all. It is Lao Mouzi’s blessed land, Berlin.
I don’t like this movie either. “Brother Huang, what have you been busy with recently?”
"Filming." When he said filming, Peng Bing looked at him in surprise, and Huang Bo blinked unconfidently, "They are all small productions, small roles that are not popular."
"Well, have you signed the company?"
"No, who would like us? We're not good-looking, and we don't have so many teachers and classmates..."
"But you have a fellow countryman, Brother Huang," Peng Bo said seriously, "If you don't mind, how about joining my company? We just lack experienced actors like you, can you come and help me?"
Huang Bo was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Peng Bing secretly, "Da Bo, you are joking. Actors all over the country want to join your company, but I can't. I'm not that material. I'm afraid that if I don't succeed in the future, I will embarrass you."
"Brother Huang, I'm not joking or being polite, you came here to really help me," Peng Bo said seriously, "Our company has a film now, and I think there is a suitable role for you."
"Really?" Huang Bo was overjoyed, but his throat twitched and he couldn't speak anymore. In a blink of an eye, the two of them walked to the door of their house. Both Peng Yuanhua and Jiang Li warmly invited him in for dinner.
"I'm not going to eat. I have to keep up with Da Bo's face. I'll come see my uncle and aunt again after the new year." Huang Bo, a person with a high emotional intelligence, knows that now is the time for family reunion, "Brother Huang, don't leave.
Look at you, I want to talk about movies with you."
After hearing the word "movie", Huang Bo's legs stopped moving.
The company is preparing to film Chen Yifei's "The Barber" later this year. Huang Bo's appearance does not suit him for the role in this film, but there is a movie, a Hong Kong movie, that suits him very well.
"You mean Zhou..." Huang Bo couldn't continue. In the past, he played small roles such as migrant workers or Ah San. This time, he was asked to directly cooperate with the King of Comedy, which made him feel like he was in a dream.
"Don't leave. After lunch, I won't keep you in the afternoon, but you have to come in the second grade of junior high school."
"I'll be there when you call," Huang Bo immediately promised, patting his chest, "I'll be here in the first grade of junior high school."
…
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Huang Bo arrived at Peach Blossom Stream in Yunmeng Mountain early. He didn't see anyone outside when he came, and helped with the work inside and outside. Today is the day when Yunmeng Mountain pays homage to his aunt. According to the custom of previous years, guests at home are not welcome.
few.
But Jiang Li said that none of his nephews are coming this year and there are distinguished guests.
Huang Bo didn't ask what kind of distinguished guests they were, and Peng Bo didn't tell them. But when two luxury Mercedes-Benzes drove into the village, the eyes of the neighbors who were riding motorcycles and riding tricycles to pay New Year greetings were all wide-eyed.
When a person stepped out of the car, wearing a long white down jacket and a red scarf, and when she took off her sunglasses, the young people who had already gathered beside the car were instantly excited. The girls covered their mouths, snickered, and whispered,
The boys have shouted her name.
"she is……"
"Isn't that true?"
"They look really alike, maybe... Gong Li?" someone boldly shouted.
